Augusto


I'm trying to think of when I last blogged....It's been a while. Life is so crazy on the home front. Just how crazy? You don't want to know, but I'll tell you a little about what's happened. In July we had a wonderful trip. We dropped off the kids at my mother in law's house and drove to Austin for a close friend's wedding. I so enjoyed seeing friends that I hadn't seen in about 7 years and others around 4 years. It was great! I loved spending time with my husband also. Dates are few and far between in this economy, let me tell you.

Recently, my husband went through a very rocky time at work. We weren't sure if he was going to be added to the unemployed statistic. We prayed A LOT about that. We decided he should go full time to school this fall in order to speed up his already-in-process masters of accounting. He will still be working and going to school full time--nice knowing you, honey! We've been through this before when he was getting his M.Div in South Carolina. As mom always says, "You can stand on your head for a little while if it gets you where you need to go." So we will be standing on our heads again! I can't remember the last time I was bored--oh wait, it was in 2007, stranded on a missions base in Brazil with nothing to do but laugh at ourselves. (another story). I am still working on my etsy business of making purses and shopping bags. I love doing it, even though it's not making enough money. I will soon be getting a job. (if it works out) Right now, I'm working on a job of 20 shopping bags that are to be gifts at a wedding shower......great idea, right?! They will be lovely, but a lot of work all at once.
I so love living near the beach.....I do hope we live here a very long time, but I am not God and cannot predict where we will be in the future. I happen to be glad about that. Jesus, take my stress away, it's yours!
